Energy Storage Technologies in Grid Modernization
by Sandeep Dhundhara, Yajvender Pal Verma, Ashwani Kumar
Preface
The electrical infrastructure of the grid is aging and there is a need to modernize the existing grid meeting the challenges of the 21st century power sector operation with the penetration of renewable energy sources. Modernization of the grid by incorporating smart grid technologies and moving towards grid digitization will make the power grid resilient to avoid power outages under extreme weather conditions and climatic changes. Energy storage technologies have emerged as a promising solution to address the challenges of grid modernization. These technologies have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to enable the integration of renewable energy sources and enhance the resilience, reliability, and flexibility of the electric grid. With the increasing adoption of intermittent renewable energy sources, the need for energy storage technologies has become more critical, as they can help mitigate the variability and uncertainty of these sources and enable their integration into the grid. These technologies enable the efficient and reliable storage of excess energy during times of low demand and the discharge of that energy during times of high demand. Energy storage technologies will act as an ancillary services to the grid for frequency regulation, voltage support, and providing black start capabilities.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the various energy storage technologies, their applications in grid modernization, and the ...
